***Watch the Winter Forecast Monday, November 24 at 10 p.m.***
Good Saturday bloggers! It is snowing lightly in many spots this morning, including in the metro area! It is an exciting day for many that have eagerly awaited another winter season. No snow accumulation is expected...but there could be some wind swept trails of snow that blow across the road or sidewalk.
Here is a picture of some of the snow pellets from Jereme Wilson of Lee's Summit.

Last year the first snowflakes of the season arrived on November 21. On that day it was a little more than a trace with 0.2" recorded at KCI.
Here is a look at the average dates of a few snow milestone moments each season for Kansas City.
- Average 1st Trace: November 21
- Average 1st 1.0"+: December 20
- Average 1st 3.0"+: January 7
For the remainder of today we will see the flurries or snow showers ending this morning, then some sun will work in. There will be sun, but another pocket of clouds could drift back over the area in the afternoon. It will be down right cold with highs in the 30s and wind chills in the 20s for much of today.
About as quickly as this change moved in...it will leave. By Sunday winds will be west-southwest and we will see a downsloping and warming wind. Highs should top out in the mid to upper 50s, with a 60 here or there possible mainly west or southwest of the metro. If mid and high clouds are thick then temps could be a few degrees cooler. Here is the NAM forecast temperature map for Sunday at noon.

After a brief warm-up on Sunday another plunge of cold air will dive in with highs in the upper 30s to mid 40s on Monday. We will be tracking the fast changing weather and talk more about the snow on NBC Action News HD at 5 & 10 p.m.
